The 80-page sweet spot
At 80 pages, the W3003 is thick enough to last a full term or a long project, yet still slim and light in a bag. The 8mm A-ruled lines make it a comfortable choice for everyday handwriting and for ink testing with medium or broad nibs.
What makes Fools paper special
The 81.4gsm Fools paper in the W3003 has a soft, pleasant tooth and excellent ink resistance, so wet nibs and saturated inks behave themselves. It is also a lovely paper for pencils and gel pens.
Simple, sturdy construction
A threadbound spine keeps the pages of the W3003 secure while letting the notebook relax open on the desk. No staples, no wire, just a clean, durable booklet.
